ARE THE COLD STEEL RECON 1 CLIP POINT S35VN ALL HOLLOW GRIND OR SABRE GRIND ?

THANKS

I have the older CTS XHP , full serrated version . It appears to be basically a hollow grind but with a terminal chisel grind because of the SE .

Someone else will surely have a more definitive answer , eventually .

The S35VN recon 1s are flat high saber ground, with the exception of the tantos which are hollow ground.

I really don't know , but this ad says hollow ? : https://www.bladehq.com/item--Cold-Steel-Recon-1-Clip-Point--80754

If you have the knife in hand , you should be able to feel / see the swell near the edge of a saber grind .

Strange, as far as I knew, CS switched to flat grinds while they were still making cts xhp models (except for the tanto which remained hollow ground).

I know my satin recon 1s that are clip point s35vn are flat.

Only flat grind for s35vn
